YOUTHS in Fearnhead damaged cars and threatened the life of a resident on Friday night in a replica of events that led to Garry Newlove's murder six months ago.
Less than 800 metres from where the father-of-three was attacked, a group of around 14 youths rampaged down Meadow Lane at 11.15pm, smashing wing mirrors and damaging car boots.
Geoff Sudlow, who lives on the road, carried out a citizen's arrest on of one of the youngsters who threatened to kill him if he did not let him go.
Police are investigating.
